The whole point of the United Nations is to have a global diplomatic community to confront the challenges of humanity. What kind UN ambassador brags about undercutting the mission of protecting innocent people in war zones and promoting peace? The kind of ambassador who has zero diplomatic experience and was appointed by a president who has no idea what the UN does.
The United States should never promote the funding of fewer peacekeepers. The damage that Trump is doing to the United States and the world is an ongoing daily occurrence. Trump is making the world less safe and damages global security. Trump’s goal apparently is to gut the UN, so that more money can be spent at home on tax cuts for the rich.
Even a weak president like Trump has a lot of power, and Donald Trump is using that power to diminish the US around the world.
